answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2021 answer text <p>A recent study demonstrated a two-dose vaccine efficacy of 95% for the Pfizer/Biotech COVID-19 vaccine, with a second dose delivered between 19 and 42 days. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has reviewed evidence on the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and advised an interval of up to 12 weeks between doses. The considerations of the JCVI on extended intervals has been published, and is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prioritising-the-first-covid-19-vaccine-dose-jcvi-statement" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/prioritising-the-first-covid-19-vaccine-dose-jcvi-statement</a></p><p>Using data available from clinical trials, Public Health England estimated that vaccine efficacy from the first dose of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is approximately 89%. This is the efficacy calculated 15 to 21 days after the first dose. The estimate for 15 to 28 days is 91% which includes seven days after the second dose, but is prior to the time protection that may be expected from the second dose. There is no estimate of efficacy for a single dose beyond 21 days, but the JCVI’s view is that protective immunity from the first dose likely lasts for a duration of 12 weeks.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi grouped question UIN 134548 134549 question first answered 18/01/2021 11:48:46 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 73470 answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

However the Government, as advised by the JCVI, are not considering vaccinating such workers as a phase one priority at this stage.   Care workers providing care for those who are severely disabled and clinically vulnerable to COVID-19  will be prioritised in phase one.</p><p> </p><p>Prioritisation decisions for next phase delivery are subject to surveillance and monitoring data and information from phase one, as well as further input from independent scientific experts such as the JCVI. Phase two may include further reduction in hospitalisation and targeted vaccination of those at high risk of exposure and/or those delivering key public services.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 08/02/2021 17:15:20 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
